RVs are a personal thing. Some people like the versatility of a lightweight trailer while others wouldn’t be caught dead in anything less than a forty-five foot bus conversion. In any case, there are a few features and characteristics that are nice to have in any RV. Some are usually only feasible in larger motorhomes or fifth wheels while others are viable in any RV. Keep these in mind when you’re purchasing an RV or planning your next remodeling project.

1) Easy to Maintain Floors

Regardless of the type of flooring you prefer – the key is maintainability. If the floors in your RV are hard to keep clean and difficult to maintain, you’ve got the wrong flooring. For ease of maintenance, look into vinyl tile, linoleum, or plastic-laminate wood. For a good compromise, consider carpeting in the living room area and tile (or linoleum) in the kitchen and bathroom areas. In heavy traffic areas, use a carpet or vinyl runner for extra protection.

2) A Re-Configurable Dining Area

Removing a fixed dinette and replacing it with a free-standing set of table and chairs is one of the most commonly performed remodeling projects. Unfortunately, some manufacturers make this task a great deal harder than it should be. Nevertheless, it’s still worth the effort for those that want the flexibility and the breathing room that this particular arrangement offers.

3) An Island Style Bed

An ‘island style bed’ is not an exotic bed that’s designed by indigenous islanders for ritualistic purposes. Instead, it’s merely a bed that can be accessed from three sides. Beds that have two sides against a wall can be a real challenge when changing the sheets. Furthermore, when two people are sleeping in the bed, the person against the wall not only has less breathing room – they also have to find some way to get up without climbing over their partner.

4) A Flip-up Kitchen Counter Extension

RV kitchen are frequently short on useful workspace. A large flip-up countertop extension can provide badly needed surface area whenever you need it. You can make your own using plywood and hardware from your RV dealer. Alternatively, IKEA (www.IKEA-usa.com) sells a wood drop leaf table (called the NORBO) that can easily be adapted to serve as a countertop extension. It cost around $30 (plus shipping).

5) An Adjustable Television Set

Most RVs come with televisions that are mounted inside a cabinet. As a result, people have to twist their bodies, turn sideways, or move their chairs to get a good view (assuming their chair even moves). It makes a lot more sense to have a television that can be configured for the viewer. A good alternative is a flat-screen television attached to a flexible TV mount that can be extended, rotated, and tilted in all directions. You can find them in good appliance stores or on the Internet.

6) Flexible Wardrobes

When it comes to closets and wardrobes, most RV manufacturers throw in a closet, install a closet rod, and call it good. That works great if everything you own can be hung on a coat hanger. However, with some adjustable shelving and a few bins, wardrobes and closets can be easily configured to meet the storage needs of everything and everyone.

7) A Dedicated Workspace

Most RV manufacturers haven’t yet addressed the fact that RVers need a dedicated place to work. A few RVs have token desks but they frequently don’t offer enough surface area for serious use. Moreover, many of these desks are located in the bedroom rendering them useless for those that work after hours. Genuine work areas should have enough surface area for a laptop computer as well as a printer. They should also have enough space for a real office chair with wheels.

Separate Vanity and Toilet

When a bathroom vanity is in the same room as the toilet, both fixtures are tied up when either one is being used. When they’re separate, one person can brush their teeth while the other uses the toilet. This may sound trivial but in a one-bathroom ‘house’, issues like this can make a big difference.

9) Well-designed Food Pantries

The best RV kitchens have pull-out food pantries that are specifically designed for canned goods, spices, and other commonly stored items. Look for adjustable, display-style shelves that are removable for easy cleaning.

10) An Accessible Bathroom

Some RVs have ‘private’ bathrooms that are located in the rear of the bedroom. The concept is similar to the master bedroom that is often found in houses. However, in a real house, there is usually more than one bathroom. In an RV, this design means that everyone has to parade through your bedroom to use the toilet. Not always a good idea.

11) Real Doors

Privacy is no less important simply because you’re staying in an RV. Accordingly, bathroom and bedroom doors should be solid and capable of being locked. Likewise, in toy haulers, there should be a solid door separating the living quarters from the ‘garage’ to keep fumes out of the living quarters.

12) Lots of Windows

RVs are largely about experiencing the great outdoors. Windows help to bring the outside in. They also make an RV seem brighter, bigger, and more cheerful. Many RVers routinely install extra windows in their RV. Ask your dealer for a list of companies that sell RV windows.

A bit of header is added to each data block written in either native or compressed. A copy of the information is stored in RAM for each data block of the algorithm Compression works on Dell LTO-3 tape technology. When the data compression algorithm compresses the data, compares the block of data compression with the raw block of information. After comparing the records that the block of data to tape media that is smaller of the two. The process Data compression increases the size of inputs. The efficient data compression technology used by Dell LTO-3 tape format achieves a ratio 2:1. Dell LTO-3 tape data compression process uses the extra bit to distinguish the compressed data block of rough blocks.

Dell LTO3 tape technology is more advantageous, user friendly and economical. LTO tape format is very robust, reliable and cost efficient. Highly durable Dell 341-2647 cartridges are available at tape4backup at cheapest prices.

Did you ever wonder what is the most expensive chair in the world? How much do you think it cost? The world’s most expensive chair was actually made between 1917 and 1919. Called the “Dragons Chair”, it is one of the masterpieces of Irish designer Eileen Gray and it has a rather fascinating history.

The sculpted wood frame that surrounds the brown leather depicts the intertwined bodies of two dragons. Originally bought in Paris by Susanne Talbot, it then went to Cheska and Robert Vallois, two Parisian furniture dealers. In 1971 it was sold to a private collector.

The Dragons Chair ultimately eventually found its way into the Art Deco collection of the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurant and his partner Pierre Berge who were the co-founders of the YSL luxury brand.

After Yves Saint Laurant passed away the chair went to auction at Paris’ Grand Palais on February 24, 2009. The auction was staged by Christie’s in association with Pierre Berge & Associes. The auction of the Collection Yses Saint Laurent et Pierre Berge took more than five hours and left even the most experienced art dealers astounded.

All but 7 of the one hundred fifty lots of rare Art Deco pieces were sold. All totaled, the sale generated over fifty nine million Euros. Ten lots sold for over a million Euros each.

It was expected that the Dragon Chair would sell for an astronomical two to three million Euros. It sold for nowhere near that, though.

When the final hammer came down Eileen Gray’s Dragons Chair sold for twenty one million nine hundred thousand Euros. That’s $27,800,000.00 US. Even Frederic Chamber, the auctioneer, was astonished at the price. He expected it to sell for between five and seven million Euros.

To put the price in perspective, the previous high for any twentieth century piece of furniture was $3.8 million. That record was set in June, 2005, at an auction in Christie’s New York gallery when a glass and oak table by Carlo Mollino was sold.

Christie’s invested close to two million Euros to stage the pre-sale exhibition and auction at the Grand Palais. Of course it cost them a bit more money to publish a lavish set of catalogues for all the sessions.

However, considering that the low estimate for both sessions was exceeded in the first session, and the low estimate for the second session was met by the sale of the Dragon Chair alone, I’d say it was money well spent, wouldn’t you?

You don’t have to spend anywhere near twenty-seven million dollars to get a distinctive piece of furniture that you would be proud to own. As a matter of fact, you can buy uniquely designed Polywood Adirondack Chairs for a mere fraction of the cost.

Everyone wants to make their home environment look beautiful. However, it can be a very expensive and time-consuming business.

It would make sense to spend some time thinking about the sort of furnishings you want in your home before spending your money. Everyone has very busy lives these days, and no-one wants to waste their precious leisure time at the weekend by roaming around shops. If you buy furniture online this is an ideal solution as you can browse a wide range of styles in different woods.

Some good advice would be to use a reputable retailer with a good background in online sales. This means that you can make your purchase with complete confidence. You can also be assured that the goods may be returned if they prove to be unsuitable. there may also be an opportunity for free delivery. Everyone likes to think that they have got something for nothing.

Two very popular woods these days are oak and pine.

There is a difference in cost between pine furniture and oak. Pine trees grow very quickly. Oak is a deciduous hardwood which means that it will take around 100 years to grow. That will have an obvious knock-on effect on the price and explains why an attractive oak dining table is so much dearer than a pine dining table.

The appearance of different timbers also changes depending on the tree it comes from. Consider the annular rings in trees. A quick study of the cross-section of a pine tree will show dark and light rings. The dark stripes indicate times of slow growth in winter. Even human hair grows more slowly in winter. The warm, summer months result in wider, paler stripes.

Temperate hardwood trees, because their growth is more slow, have a denser grain with less obvious rings.

Which should I choose? Oak or pine?

One should firstly consider aesthetics. That means how much you personally like the look of something. Some people just love the open-grained nature of pine, others like the smaller, denser grains of oak. Pine also tends to mature into a warmer colour. Ultimately it is down to personal choice.
